Speedometer not returning to zero

2006 F350 6.0 six speed

I was driving to work this morning cruising at around 60, I begin slowing down for a small town that has a speed limit of 35. I start slowing down and my speedo isn't falling. I come to a stop light and the needle moves to about 25 when I'm not moving. A go to work and check it at lunch, its at about 10. I drive home and its worse yet. Parked in my driveway its about 30 to 35. Any idea on why this happened, is there a reset I can hit?
Thanks!

Hold trip button. turn on key, watch screen. Should go to a test mode after a few seconds. Release button and press again, should sweep the guages.

Exact same thing happened to me last week. I also have a 06. I talked to Ford right away, and they said probably have to replace the instrument cluster, or take it apart and reset it. Thanks to the internet I saved myself $415.

I tried the reset, it worked great. It hung up a bit today but went back to normal. Any idea how to remove the cluster?
Thanks!
